Should the West be Suspicious of Islam? My full Oxford Union speech.

Update on this morning’s aviation security alert on the flight heading for Israel from Dubai. It has now landed in Saudi Arabia. Around 180 passengers. All thought to be safe. Authorities are investigating whether one of the pilots stabbed the other pilot. Another plane is expected to be sent from Dubai to Saudi Arabia to pick up the passengers and continue on to Israel. According to data from flight-tracking apps, the aircraft descended sharply by about 15,000 feet in one minute. The possibility that one pilot tried to kill himself and bring the plane down with him is now being investigated. Reports from some on board suggest the other pilot and Israeli passengers on board helped to bring the situation under control. Israeli Prime Minister’s Office says that “Prime Minister Netanyahu held consultations on the matter and monitored developments.” “The situation is under control, and all measures are now being taken to return the Israeli passengers safely to Israel.”

This incident appears to be over and not to have been a hijacking. Thank goodness. This was the route of the flight.

It is now thought the emergency signal was triggered by a fight inside the cockpit. The plane has now landed.

There is suspicion that there wad violence on board the plane, rather than a full on security-related incident. Still unknown. New assessment says it is probably not a kidnapping

The plane has now reappeared on flight raiders. Made contact with Saudi Arabia and is believed to be preparing to land there.

US Central Command is involved and assisting with the incident.

In his conference speech, our Foreign Secretary told those who had protested Labour’s previous Israel-related policy: “We hear you. You were right.” When were they right? On October 7, 2023, when they first applied to hold an anti-Israel protest? When they intimidated Parliament, prompting the then-Speaker to express concerns for the safety of MPs engaged in a vote? When they vandalised the statue of Churchill, smashed up Jewish-owned businesses, or shattered a police officer’s spine? When their leaders were convicted of breaching conditions imposed under the Public Order Act during one of their constant protests? When they called for an intifada? When they shouted support for Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists? When they formed an intimidating mob outside a synagogue? They were right, were they? thejc.com/opinion/britains-u…

Britain admitted a man publicly known as bodyguard for a Hamas leader in Gaza, reported to be the son of another senior Hamas figure. We gave him residence and then citizenship, and he is now accused of advanced preparations for a major terrorist attack against Jews in Europe – a plot uncovered not by British intelligence, but with Israeli and German help. And now, with that barely digested, the Government is reopening the UK Resettlement Scheme and explicitly prioritising Palestinians who have fled Gaza. The exact same place he came from. What idiocy. We're releasing on bail suspected terrorists who targeted our air base, shaking hands with the Islamic Republic foreign minister, giving solar panels to terrorists families for free... Britain’s security, immigration and foreign-policy priorities are not merely confused. They are upside down. My latest piece: thejc.com/opinion/britains-u…

SHAME: Former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, now head of the UN's relief agency, bows to Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi whose regime just massacred tens of thousands of protesters in January. Fletcher often echoed Iranian regime talking points against the US and Israel.

It is normal practice when detaining terrorist suspects to remove most of their clothing, to ensure they aren't concealing a bomb or other weapons. Just as Israel did it in the Gaza strip, the UK did it this morning in Fairford. In 2023, just two months after the brutal Palestinian invasion of Israel, the BBC reported this arrest footage as "savage images, evoking humanity's darkest times". I wonder if they will do the same now for Fairford.

She's back! My fascinating conversation with @CarolineGlick covers Israel's past, present and future, the truth about @netanyahu, October 7th and a national enquiry, and why much of the world has turned on Jews and Israe;.

🔴ELIMINATED: Saher Nidal Latfi Sakr, a terrorist operative affiliated with global jihadist organizations operating in Gaza. Among other activities, he supplied weapons to Hamas during the war. Sakr infiltrated Israel during the October 7 Massacre and drove the motorcycle used to abduct Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or from the Nova music festival into Gaza. Recently, Sakr advanced attacks targeting Israeli civilians & IDF troops. He was eliminated in order to remove the threat he posed.

Fairford: was it Iran? Iran’s Revolutionary Guards explicitly threatened RAF Fairford in July after new Prime Minister Andrew Burnham’s government continued allowing American forces to use British bases for operations against Iran. Only a few days ago, Foreign Secretary Miliband met Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi at the United Nations in New York, posing for a photo. Britain’s subsequent readout said he warned the UK would not tolerate intimidation, threats or hostile activity on its own soil. Should this incident turn out to be connected to Iran (so far no information has been released) that shameful meeting will look even worse than it did last week.

The point of Miliband's constant, cheap, transparent social media fodder is clear: he is desperate for his potential voters to know that, while he is a “proud Jew,” he’s not afraid to upset, imperil, and abandon British Jews, and is positively excited by the prospect of destroying the safety and security of Israeli Jews. In fact, the sheer volume of these totally un-serious videos makes it clear that he really, really wants everyone to know this. None of this is accidental.
